Engineered specifically for pan-European 19-inch EIA server and network cabinet deployments, the VH-4013 is a premium 1U rack-mount power distribution unit constructed from extruded aluminum alloy. It comes factory-equipped with 8 DIN VDE Type-F earthed Schuko sockets, a front-panel red illuminated master switch, and an integrated digital ammeter for real-time total load monitoring.Delivering a maximum 16A / 4000W power rating, the lightweight aluminum chassis provides superior heat dissipation compared to conventional steel PDUs, ensuring stable performance under continuous 24/7 operation. Reserved modular expansion bays accept a full range of hot-swap functional upgrades including surge protection, overload breakers, leakage protection and USB charging modules. Certified to CE, RoHS and VDE standards, it is ideal for data closets, monitoring infrastructure and IT rollouts across Germany, France and other EU territories.
1. Integrated Real-Time Digital Current Meter
Unlike basic unmonitored rack PDUs, this unit features a built-in 3-digit digital ammeter that scans and displays aggregate load current in real time. System integrators can assess available power margin before adding new rack hardware, proactively reducing overload risks and preventing unplanned downtime.
2. 8 VDE-Certified Type-F Schuko Sockets
Eight DIN VDE compliant Schuko (Type-F) earthed sockets natively fit all mainstream European equipment plugs. Multiple network and server devices can draw power simultaneously within a single rack enclosure without requiring adapter plugs, simplifying deployment for EU-region projects.
3. Extruded Aluminum Alloy Chassis
Constructed from lightweight extruded aluminum profile rather than standard SPCC steel, it delivers significantly better thermal dissipation under sustained loads, while reducing overall static weight on rack mounting rails. The matte silver finish also harmonizes aesthetically with most European cabinet panel designs.
4. Front-Panel Illuminated Master Switch
The easily accessible red illuminated main toggle switch controls power to all 8 outlets simultaneously. It enables quick full-bank de-energization during hardware swaps, on-site inspections and routine cabinet maintenance, eliminating repeated plugging and unplugging.
5. Hot-Swap Ready Modular Expansion Bays
Pre-reserved modular cavities support tool-free field upgrades. Users can add surge protection, leakage protection, overload breakers or remote monitoring modules at any time to match evolving project requirements, without replacing the entire PDU unit.
6. Dual-Orientation 19" Rack Compatibility
Adjustable side mounting brackets support both forward and reverse installation orientations. This adaptability accommodates varying internal cabinet depths and mounting hole layouts from different European cabinet manufacturers, ensuring seamless integration with existing rack infrastructure.

Q: What makes this PDU different from standard steel C13 rack PDUs?
A: This model is purpose-built for the European market, featuring VDE-certified Schuko (Type-F) sockets for native compatibility with EU equipment. It also uses an extruded aluminum chassis for better heat dissipation and lighter weight, plus a built-in digital ammeter for real-time load monitoring.
Q: Does this PDU come with surge protection built in?
A: The standard configuration includes the digital ammeter and master switch. Surge protection, overload protection and leakage protection are available as optional hot-swap modules that can be factory pre-installed or added in the field at any time.
Q: Will this fit all standard 19-inch server racks used in Europe?
A: Yes. It is built to EIA 19-inch rack standards with adjustable side mounting brackets that support both forward and reverse installation, compatible with all major European cabinet brands.
Q: What safety certifications does this Schuko PDU hold?
A: The VH-4013 is certified to CE, RoHS and VDE standards, fully meeting EU safety and environmental requirements for IT and industrial power distribution equipment.
Q: Can the input cable length and plug type be customized?
A: Yes. The standard configuration includes a 2-meter VDE EU power cord. Custom cable lengths and alternative input plugs such as IEC C14 are available for bulk project orders.
